"This book explores the role that environmental distribution of antimicrobial resistance genes and antibiotics plays in ecosystem and human
health. The text features a multi-disciplinary framework that connects microbiology, environmental toxicology, and chemistry to assess human
and ecological risk associated with exposure to antibiotics or antibiotic resistance genes as environmental contaminants. It also considers
alternate uses and functions for antimicrobial compounds other than those intended for medicinal purposes in humans, animals, and fish.
Recognizing the connectivity between overlapping complex systems, the book discusses the subject from the perspective of an eco...
